Abstract
The change in physicochemical properties of nanocrystalline powder of the composition ZrO2 ― 3 mole% Y2O3 in the presence of aluminum fluoride is studied. The starting powder is prepared by a complex method including elements of hydrothermal synthesis and sol-gel technology. It is established that these conditions expand the temperature limits for the existence of ZrO2 monoclinic solid solution. Transformation is connected with adsorption of fluorine at the ZrO2 surface, diffusion in the solid phase, and a reduction in anion vacancy concentration.
